Product Description

Cher is a matchmaking 15 year old beverly hills high schooler who has shopping & boys on her mind but mostly shopping. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Starring: Alicia Silverstone Jeremy Sisto Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Pg13
Amazon.com essential video

Alicia Silverstone won everyone over with her portrayal of a Beverly Hills teen, Cher, whose penchant for helping others with their relationships and self-esteem is a cover for her own loneliness. Director Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) made a smart, funny variation on Jane Austen's novel Emma, sweetly romantic and gently satirical of 90210 social manners. The cast is unbeatable: Dan Hedaya as Cher's rock-solid dad, Wallace Shawn as a geeky teacher, Paul Rudd as the boy who has always been Cher's surrogate brother--and the true holder of her most secret wishes. --Tom Keogh

this is a great modern twist of EMMA by jane austen. if you have a teen who has to read EMMA have her watch this movie as a prilimanary to get her reved up and help explain some of the main story points.

Boy, I miss the Emma parallel here: Jane Austin's girl
have a little class, this little dork b-tch is a shame on us all?
A valley girl with a vacuum isn't a good role model
for anybody.
Make over into a human is what she needs?
The head kid seems to have more humanity
than the lead actress.
I lost my sense of humor here about the time she
got A's for setting up her teachers...
She needs a parent of some sort.

Cluless is a story about Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and her friends who together live a fairly empty and meaningless highschool life. The journey takes a turn when Cher's college age former step-brother comes to stay with Cher and her father and gets Cher to start thinking about more than just herself. A very humorous coming-of-age comedy where Cher learns about life and love. Well acted and well written this is a surprisingly funny movie with lots of memorable one liners and scenes. A somewhat unexpected romance and a cast of well-developed characters make this movie a good choice for those looking for a funny diversion.
This is where Dionne lives. She's my friend because we both know what it's like for people to be jealous of us. - Reviewed on 2008-08-31

Cher Horowitz(Alicia Silverstone) is your typical average 15 year old girl. Only of course her father is a rich lawyer, she's gorgeous, spoiled rotten and lives in a Beverly Hills mansion.

Now with that said, this modern day take on Jane Austen's masterpiece Emma obviously falls short of the original and well, our heroine is a bit of an airhead.

BUT although slightly vapid we begin to actually care for these characters and especially Cher, with her attempts at self improvement and love for her family and friends. (She may not be as self-centered as we imagined?)

It's a film you can watch over and over again, and it had yet to become dated!

Paul Rudd also adds a lot to the film as Josh, Cher's adorable ex-stepbrother.

Is it a classic, perhaps not, but it does everything it sets out to and is still tons of fun! And who doesn't love walking around spouting 'As If!'
